Virtual Office?
Suppose that you're looking to get a decent CBD office with a receptionist. Here's the breakdown for 1 year:

- 300 sq. ft. Office Rental > $900 x 12
- Renovation & Furnshing > $5,000
- 1 Receptionist > $1,000 x 12
- 1 Phone & Fax Line > $50 x 12
- 1 Internet Service > $250 x 12
- Utilities > $50 x 12
- Total > $32,000

Instead of paying $32,000, Virtual Office First Class offers the same services at lower price of about $800 a year, means you will enjoy a savings of more than $30,000. But of course, you get your own table in your own office but you wouldn't sit around and wait for business, would you?

i used to use servcopr (www.servcorp.net) but later find that their charges are quite pricey.

Now i'm using a cellphone number, which can be diverted to my home number or any other numbers. Then, i pay a small sum every month at an office in Raffles Place for the address and for the right to use the meeting room as and when needed.

yes, servcorp is very expensive compare with the price I mentioned in 1st post.

dango, may i know how much you paid to get the office at raffless place's address and whether any mail / fax forwarding is included ?

meantime, whether it's ok to use a cellphone number for registration at Government ? ( do u hv any registration at singapore )

Yes, using a cellphone number is OK, and you can use your home address as your registered address (for a private limited).

I am making my virtual office address my registered address as of tomorrow. The main thing is to be sure that you will receive all correspondence because that is where the government will send it, no matter what other address you might request... it's always to the registered address.

is there any good provider for "virtual office " ??

hi

i didn't reqire fax forwarding service as I've got my own fax machine in the home office. Once a week, I'll drop by the place to collect snail mail. They ladies there are flexible - they can accommodate if you wish to have forwarding.

What types of service do you need excatly? Why don't you drop me a PM detailing what you need. Will speak to the service office lady and ask if they can offer what you looking for.

[fx8fx]

what i need is just a simple virtual office with small fee to cover the period before i rent a real office and hire staff

[superfurryanimal]

It's definitely legal - there are loads of companies who use such a service. I use one myself.

anybody use such virtual office for a REP office at SG
